Jesus Walks

Matthew. In this passage Jesus sends the disciples out across the sea while He goes to pray up on the mountain. As the disciples sailed off, the boat got caught in a storm. In the middle of the night Jesus began to approach the disciples, and at first they did not believe that it was really Him. They said fearfully that it was not really Christ, but that it was a ghost. Peter then tells Jesus to command him to come to Him on the water if it really is Him. Peter begins to walk, but once he…

Holy Spirit to reset our default setting. The default setting of man is the existence of man in three constituent parts, the body, soul and Spirit. The blood of Jesus is the only blood that is able to restore our original default settings. The Spirit of God who is in us has come to help us to think and act like God. We need to be like Jesus, who even though He was in a human body was able to please God. His human nature did not make Him disobedient to God. The indwelling Spirit of God…

that Jesus is Christ, the first prediction of Jesus’ death, and a reflection of true discipleship. In the opening scene, as Jesus and the disciples are on their way to Caesarea Philippi, the reader sees that even while in route to their destination their work never ends as they grapple with the questions that Jesus asks. It seems that Mark desires to make it clear that in the eyes of Jesus, the disciples are set apart from the masses in the line of questioning he presents, showing that Jesus…

According to St. Matthew, illustrates the life of Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Matthew is considered as one of the important gospels in the bible because it “…contains an extensive account of Jesus’ teachings…”, which helps individuals understand the Christian religion even more precise (“New Testament of the Bible”). Passolini not only was able to capture a visual chronicle of the gospel but also engages his audiences to feel connected to our Lord Jesus Christ. This film can be shown to anyone…

Langston Hughes narrates his own life about when he was searching and seeking Jesus. God convicts Langston Hughes in love when he is thirteen by making him aware of his sins. During this time, Hughes said that he is saved, but in reality he was not saved. Hughes makes in explanation in the story when he attends his aunt’s church by putting on a false disguise in front of her and the entire congregation that he envisioned Jesus and receives the Holy Spirit. Hughes expresses his concerns that his…

revealed truth, the Bible, which directs our life in this world. (What is a Biblical Worldview?) In Romans 1-8, Paul walks us through the themes of sinfulness, forgiveness, and freedom. (Tyndale House Publishers, pages 1878-1896) This is a fallen, sinful world, therefore not one human who walks on this earth is free from sin, and our only hope in this world is through our faith in Jesus Christ. The Natural World The natural world was created by God. Genesis 1 gives an account of God…

has more than 2 billion believers. Christianity is very much focused on Jesus Christ and is seen more than just a system but a belief. It has become a very organized culture with different ways of life and other ideas and practices that has been going on from generation to generation since Jesus became the objective of faith. Christianity has a combination of culture and tradition of faith that make the church Christianity. Jesus Christ and the members that he was with had a tradition and they…

of the flight crew to sit down in that airliner and assume the flight is going to be incident free. The author of our lesson points out that we do not commit ourselves to Christ with the same kind of faith that we use when we sit down in a chair or walk on to an airplane. Would you agree with the statement that spiritual faith is not native to man? Biblical faith requires more than simply transferring our natural faith to spiritual objects. Biblical faith is not generated by us; biblical faith…

rational logic and reasoning. Thomas, the apostle of Jesus, has forever been labeled with the moniker, “Doubting Thomas.” However, to the uninitiated, this moniker may confer an unbiblical substructure on which Christian faith may rest. Christianity does not require a leap of faith nor fideism. Thomas, when confronted by his resurrected savior, requested that he examine the holes in Jesus’ hand in addition to the wound on his side (Jn 20:25). Jesus did not criticize his disciple but rather…

whether they are a hand, an eye, or an ear. Another key text is Colossians 1:18-20, where Christ is depicted as the head of the Church. The only reason that the Church exists is so that Christ can be magnified, and as a result the Church must submit to Jesus in everything. The Church is God’s plan A for the world, and it is the main way the world will hear the gospel. “The catholic or universal Church, which is invisible, consists of the whole number of the elect, that have been, are, or shall…
